On Saturday, Dec. 6 Renato Tavares traveled to his affiliate academy Triton Fight Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma for his yearly seminar.

The event gathered a whopping 130 students together. Seventeen of them were black belts including Triton Fight Center head instructor Piet Wilhelm, Renato Tavares himself, James Foster of GMA Foster BJJ in Seattle, WA, Mike Budnik, Gina Franssen and others. During the seminar Renato taught various back-takes.

Along with the seminar came the belt ceremony. In all, there were over twenty promotions for those who were deserving of new belt ranks.

As part of the twenty, three special promotions came in the form of black belts to Reed Haji, Tim Holman and Omar French.

Omar was amazed and although super cool he says it was also super scary. “It was amazing! Not so much for getting the rank but because your instructors trust you to represent them. It was insane amazing.”

Omar French, aluno do faixa-preta e GMA Piet Wilhelm, em Bronken Arrow, Oklahoma, ensina hoje uma transição do berimbolo para a montada.

Repare bem nos detalhes de pegada na faixa e no giro aplicado pelo faixa-marrom. Observe também, como Omar não solta a faixa na hora da montada. Assim você evita que o oponente fuja da posição.
